Dear Mike! When you fly by plane you get a ticket, in which inter alia all forbidden items are listed. There is nothing about knives in the tickets of the Turkmenistan Airlines. May be there is something in the tickets of other companies, I don't know. You can check. Several years ago I flew by Pakistan Airlines. They did not allow electric batteries and knives on board. But they cared about the passengers. Their security staff took those items from each passenger, packed them in an individual bag and returned the items upon arrival. Thank you for your understanding.

In the USA they will take your knife away and you won't get it back. I thought everyone knew that. The reason you don't get your knife back is because otherwise everyone would try sneaking one on, figuring they have nothing to lose anyway if it is found.
